Ka Bäck in da Frua

Climbing 'Ka Bäck in da Frua' (UIAA VII) in the majestic Ankogel Group is a quintessential alpine adventure. This multi-pitch route, whose intriguing name roughly translates to 'No Bread in the Morning' (perhaps hinting at an early, hungry start!), is renowned for its excellent granite climbing and exposed positions. Graded VII (or roughly 6a/6a+ French), it demands good technique, stamina, and a steady head for heights. The climb typically involves sustained sections on solid rock, offering a mix of cracks, slabs, and corners, all set against a backdrop of breathtaking High Tauern panoramas. An early start is crucial to tackle its multiple pitches and ensure a timely return, often via exhilarating abseils. Reaching the top, after navigating its challenging sequences, rewards climbers with an immense sense of accomplishment and unparalleled views of the surrounding glaciated peaks and valleys. It's a classic for a reason, embodying the true spirit of alpine mountaineering.
